Life of a Principal

I lost my father, Ron Baker, on August 17th. It has been a very emotional start to this school year. Thank you for your patience and support during the first few weeks of school. You have no idea how comforting it is to be in the preschool with your children's smiling faces. Thank you for sharing and trusting the preschool with your treasures.
